Default Still No Snow for November in Leicestershire

Hi Paul

Only once, here - Jan'82. That was about 18".


I have a photo taken on a Sunday morning in January 1982, after it had been
snowing for about 3 days. I remember it as being fine and powdery snow. The
picture shows a channel my father had dug out down to the greenhouse at the
bottom of the garden. You can judge from it that there was possibly more
than 18" of level snow here in Worcester.

I also have a few photos showing ice floes on the River Severn in the City
taken around the same time.

I think apart from that, there was a very heavy snowfall in January 1986, I
remember deep snow drifts blocking many roads in Worcestershire. Uncertain
to the actual depth of level snow but it must have been approaching 12".

The last big snowfall was Feb 1991 when I measured 8" of level snow. Since
then we have had no more than the occasional light dusting.
